The leaf on the tree is green and if it separates from the tree, it will fall to the ground 100% of the time. There are many constants and laws that apply universally, and these are only discoverable becuase they are rational and ordered. You can start quoting QM, but these don't apply to you - you function well in the subject-object relationship, and the laws of physics are reliable and measurable, regardless of what is going on at the quantum level.

So you agree with the central hypothesis of science, that the laws of nature, both discovered and yet to be discovered, are uniform over time?

I can't say that with any certainty and neither can you. We have no way of measuring those laws in the past - assumptions must be made.
